Now, after having successfully refuted all the arguments against Advaita posted in this thread, it's time for the...


BONUS ROUND

I will now also retroactively refute some of Evola's arguments against Advaita that he lays out in article posted in this here.

>So, what does the Vedânta say about the world, about Man and his Becoming? First of all, there is the optimistic presupposition that a god exists
*tips fedora*, also in the writings of Shankara many arguments also used by classic western theologians like Aquinas etc come up here and there where he points out that another explanation other than God for the universe like naturalistic atomism and the Buddhist theory are all untenable for various reasons.

>that is to say that the contingent and phenomenal set of things is not what it seemed before, but is only the accidental aspect of a whole which, in fact, is already perfect and is comprised in a superior principle.
accidental in the sense that a thinking deliberative mind did not design it, but non-accidental in that it comes from Brahman's power of maya

>In this case : no certainty of God, outside this experience of the Self which has it as its content. Now, since this experience is not immediate and general but, in order to reach it, a certain process is necessary, there are no demonstrative arguments to assert that God does exist
Wrong, Shankara does use theological arguments when relevant but just doesn't consider them to be super important or necessary for spiritual practice, also in the important Advaita text Mandukya Karika of Gaudapada which Shankara comments on, there is a fairly well-developed argument for Brahman being the most logical explanation for existence in comparison to the other alternatives.
